stage 3 nasal lymphoma. - mailfordidierrami - 08-22-2017
I would like to take this opportunity to explain the circumstances of my recent health situation.
The story began sometime in April 2016. I had slowly come to realize that I was losing sense of hearing in my left ear. With the onset of persistent nasal congestion and a recurring sore throat I sought medical attention. After visiting a number of hospitals all of whom subjected me to several tests, I was told I had simply been suffering from an infection.
I began my treatment in the hopes the symptoms would clear. The symptoms worsened and I started having severe nose bleeds. I was then advised to consult an ‘Ear Nose and Throat’ specialist. After several scans, an MRI scan of my head revealed an unidentified growth in my upper nasal tract measuring 8.5cm and 3cm wide. My blood ran cold.
The discovery cast my life into limbo, suddenly confronted with several frightening prognoses; potential blindness, partial deafness, anosmia or worse. After undergoing surgery, a biopsy of the mass returned the diagnosis: cancer. Analysis of my scans would show I had a stage 3 nasal lymphoma.
To this day I cannot quite find the words to describe the emotions of helplessness and despair that beset me. It was as though my life had suddenly and without fair warning, been brought to a screeching halt. I was advised on the high risk of my situation with the danger that the cancer could metastasise and spread to my brain. Compounded by my struggle in finding adequate medical care, I felt as though I was in a lopsided battle against time for my wellbeing.
It has been in no uncertain terms, thanks to the support of my friends,and some few donors that I have been managing to cope with all of this. The emotional, the physical and the financial struggles that accompany fighting such a disease are just too overwhelming for one person to hope to transcend. To those who have been there, my sincerest and deepest gratitude.
My treatment plan consists of six courses of chemotherapy and intermittent radiotherapy spread over a 7 month period. My fight has begun and at the time of writing I have completed 2 courses of chemotherapy, with plans to receive radiotherapy next week.
With a projected cost of 87,000 dollars to complete my treatment, I wish to appeal to you to help in my battle against cancer with any amount.If you wish to make donations in please let me know and I will send you the details of my information for the operation.
